    Have you ever defended a person you really like even if they are obviously wrong?

    Maybe because the person you like did something bad or because this person is discussing a subject and defending the wrong argument?

    I dont know about you but I am saying the earth is flat if she is hot enough or a friend.

    Per sey? So what is it, either you do or do not help to perpetuate false information.
    Would you defend a person you know to be spreading false information just because the person is a friend?

    No, I dont. If they are the Im always right type I will just let it slide instead of arguing. Never agree tho.

    But sometimes they look at you in the middle of the discussion and say: "Isnt that right?"

    YEAH. MYSELF. Ill always defend myself even if I am wrong.

    As for arguing, some people I know are so hard headed that discussing something is so tedious, that I either shut up or not even delve into the discussion due to past debates. Its always easier to leave these assholes alone than to prove youre right.

    To some degree thats just human nature.If per say a family member (mother ) has a dispute and you know she's wrong you would stand up for her especially if it became physical right.

    I usually step behind them and do the circle around the ear (this person is crazy)sign and wink to the other person so they know, then I pretend to agree...

    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    Now this is a quality Vieope thread.

    Occasionally I will pretend to agree with a point (It's half-hearted; I will barely acknowledge what they said and change the subject) or avoid answering if I don't feel like arguing about it. That's rare though. Normally I like a good debate.
